The past year has been a whirlwind time at Chelsea Football Club as Roman Abramovich's era came to an end and ushered in an age of Boehly-Clearlake. The American consortium won the race to buy the club, but after restrictions, they had to move quick to make changes to the side going into the season.
A huge transfer spend was required in the summer, but the sacking of Thomas Tuchel and the eventual hiring of Graham Potter caught many by surprise. The January window then saw the squad strengthened further, leaving the total transfer spend to roughly £600million, with a huge pool of talent to choose from.
This caused some problems and after a wretched run of form, Potter was eventually dismissed, despite the huge fee paid to land him and his staff from Brighton. Frank Lampard has been placed in interim charge for the remainder of the season, but with the team sitting 12th in the Premier League, the mistakes of the ownership have only been exacerbated.
